Stoploss and take profit vaules.

New comment
 

Hi there, I m having problems figuring out how to set stoploss and take profit.

I have found a few answers online but cant seem to find a solution that works with my problem, and running out of ideas.

I can set vaules manually, im using Alpari UK demo account.  I think the minimum SL TK is 30 pips.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

 

//=====================================================================================
//======================================make_trade======================================
//=====================================================================================
bool make_trade(int trade_type, double price, color Color)
{
//buy at Ask
//sell at bid
double Lots = 0.1;
double SL = 5000000;
double TP = 5000000;
int Magic = 12345;

double stop_loss = NormalizeDouble((price + SL*Point),Digits);
double take_profit= NormalizeDouble((price + TP*Point),Digits);
//Alert (Symbol() + " " + price + " " + stop_loss + " " + take_profit);

RefreshRates();
//int ticket=-1;
int ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), trade_type, Lots, price, 3, 0, 0, "", Magic, 0, Color);

   if (ticket == -1)
   {
      Print("OrderSend() error - ", GetLastError());
   }
  
   if (ticket > -1)
   {
RefreshRates();

      OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET);
  
 
  
      bool retrn = OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), stop_loss,take_profit , 0, Color);
  
      if (retrn == false)
      {
         Print("OrderModify() error - ", GetLastError());
      }
   }
}

Your code  . . .

double stop_loss = NormalizeDouble((price + SL*Point),Digits);
double take_profit= NormalizeDouble((price + TP*Point),Digits);

The NormalizeDouble()  is not needed you can get rid of it.

 

For a Buy the SL is below Ask and the TP is above Ask,  for a Sell the SL is above Bid and the TP is below Bid . . .  your code has the SL and TP above Ask/Bid 

 
RaptorUK: Sell the SL is above Bid and the TP is below Bid . . .  your code has the SL and TP above Ask/Bid  

double SL = 5000000;
double TP = 5000000;
and SL below Bid and can not be negative
